Indirectly, the programme benefits the entire population, particularly vulnerable groups, by supporting reforms aimed at improving electricity services, stabilising public finances, increasing transparency, and creating the conditions for inclusive economic growth. Strengthened governance of the EMAE, improved budget credibility, and better targeting of pro-poor spending will generate long-term gains for households, businesses, and service providers across the country.</narrative>

   <narrative xml:lang="EN">The overarching objective of the FSERP-SF is to strengthen fiscal sustainability and improve governance in the energy sector by deepening key reforms in public financial management and the power sector. Specifically, the programme aims to expand domestic revenue mobilisation, improve spending efficiency and transparency, strengthen debt management, and advance critical reforms within the national electricity utility (EMAE) to support the transition toward renewable energy. The programme builds on achievements from Phases I and II, where more than 90% of targeted policy actions were completed, and consolidates reforms that remain essential for macroeconomic stability, debt sustainability, and improved service delivery.</narrative>
